Marianopolis is a private, subsidized English pre-university college in Westmount, Quebec, founded in 1908.
Marianopolis is Quebec's only private subsidized English college specializing in pre-university studies. Its address is 4873 Westmount Avenue, Westmount, QC, H3Y 1X9, Canada. The College describes itself as a private English college in Montreal that prepares students to pursue academic excellence and become self-directed lifelong learners. Its vision is to be the leading college in Quebec.
Sister Saint Anne Marie (Marie-Aveline Bengle) of the Congregation established the College in 1908 as the first institution of higher education for Catholic women in Quebec. Its heritage traces back to 1658, when Marguerite Bourgeoys opened Montreal's first school. In 1944 the English sector's curriculum was renamed Marianopolis. In 1969 the College phased out its university programs, introduced CÉGEP-equivalent programs and began admitting male students. In 2007 it returned to the historic building at 4873 Westmount Avenue, and in 2024 it purchased the land and buildings from the Congregation.
Marianopolis offers 6 pre-university DEC programs and 2 Double DECs to a diverse community of about 2,000 students. The College reports a 70% on-time graduation rate, double the average in the Quebec college network. Students can access support through the Math Help Centre, English Help Centre, Centre d'aide en français and Tutoring Centre.
The College is located in a historic building at 4873 Westmount Avenue. Facilities include a library, an Organ Loft quiet study area, athletics facilities for weight training and field sports, and a Campus Store. The College has more than 150 student clubs.
Applicants may come from Quebec high schools with the Quebec Diploma of Secondary Studies, from Canadian high schools outside Quebec, or from international schools. Students may also transfer from another Quebec cégep. Admission to the Arts and Sciences program is also available.
